Our Verdict

LG C4 OLED

Panasonic Z85A OLED

The LG C4 OLED is better than the Panasonic Z85A OLED in some ways. The LG is the brighter TV overall and has better reflection handling, so it overcomes more glare in a bright room and delivers a more impactful HDR experience. The LG also does a better job smoothing out artifacts in low bitrate content, and it supports 144Hz, which is great for PC gamers. On the other hand, the Panasonic has slightly better upscaling capabilities.
